Deborah Ann Brantner, 69, of Corsicana, Texas, passed away on Saturday, April 25, 2026, in Wills Point, Texas.
Deborah was born on August 1, 1956, in Pasadena, Texas, to Nolan Mathious Brantner and Letha Mae Richardson Brantner. She was raised in Calvert, Texas, where she attended Calvert Independent School District. Deborah spent most of her life in the Ennis and Corsicana areas.
She worked as a medication aide and home health aide, a role she truly loved, as caring for others came naturally to her. Deborah was devoted to her family and was currently raising her grandchildren, Danni Lynn Miller and Elijah Miller, as well as her great-nephew, Tristan Short.
Deborah was of the Christian faith and attended Cowboy Church in Ellis County. She cherished time spent with her family, especially sharing meals together. She also enjoyed street dancing and looked forward to trips to Shreveport, where she spent time with the “Money Man.”
She was preceded in death by her parents, Nolan and Letha Mae Brantner, and her brother, Nolan Ray Brantner.
Deborah is survived by her children, Letha Brantner, Daniel Ray Miller and wife Tiffiny, Carl “Fatboy” Miller and Mechale, Kerrie Miller, and Candice Genack; her brothers, Jon Alford and wife Donna, and Edward Alford; her sisters, Brenda Pennington and husband Steve, Carolyn Brantner, and Lisa Ingram and husband Brian; along with numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.
Arrangements were made under the direction of Hiett’s LyBrand Funeral Home. The family asks that in lieu of flowers please make donations directly to the funeral home to help with services.
